Nebraska’s past opponents have completed 46 percent of passes this season with 37 percent the previous three games.

McGloin has completed 64 percent of his passes in Big Ten games this season.

Pelini said turnovers are the most important facet in winning football games. Nebraska is the worst team in the Big Ten in terms of turnover margin with minus nine; Penn State is the best with plus nine.

“You just have to keep working on it like I said, there's nothing magical about it,” Pelini said.

Nebraska’s sophomore I-Back Ameer Abdullah leads the Big Ten in rushing attacks. He has started for Burkhead four times this season.

Abdullah has rushed more than 100 yards in each of his four starts. He is the first Husker to rush more than 100 yards in his first four starts since Lawrence Phillips in 1994.

Husker coverage starts with a live chat with Big Red Zone insider Sean Callahan at noon on KETV.com. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium, and the game will air on ABC. KETV will have post game coverage live from Lincoln.
